2018 Porsche Cayman GTS

2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS
Carrara White Metallic
365HP flat 4, 0-60 in 4.4 sec
586 miles

This client was a referral. The Cayman was a Mother’s Day present for his wife. They wanted to get it ceramic coated for the protection and ease of cleanup/maintenance they provide.
The vehicle’s paint was in very good condition considering it has only been touched by the dealer. It had some minor swirls and marring that needed to be removed prior to being coated.

Tools/chemicals/processes/etc:

2BW with Adam’s car shampoo.
MF chenille wash mitts.
Iron decontamination was achieved with a beta test iron remover. (and it actually smelled fantastic if you can believe that!)
Clayed via Griot’s medium grade mitt.
Blow dry with Metro master blaster.
Paint readings by Defelsko.
Rupes Mark II 21, iBrid and 3” were utilized.
Misc. foam pads.
McKee’s37 polish was used to clean up the paint surfaces.
Misc. MF towels.
CarPro Eraser for final wipe down.
LSP was 22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
Wheels were washed and clayed.
Tires were cleaned with Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
Wheel wells cleaned with Adam`s APC.
Wheels were coated with 22ple VM1.
Calipers were cleaned and coated with 22ple VM1.
Wheel wells were cleaned with Adam’s APC and coated with Pro9H ceramic coating.
Exhaust tips were cleaned and coated with 22ple VM1.
Glass was cleaned with Adam’s glass cleaner and dedicated glass MF towels.
Ranger QuickJack for vehicle lifting duties.
Matco torque wrench for proper wheel lug torque.
Tire dressing was GYEON Tire. Baked on.
Vacuumed via Metro.
Interior cleaned up with McKee’s37 quick interior detailer.
Leather seat surfaces were coated with Gtechniq leather guard.

Thank you for taking the time to read/look at my post, and if there are any questions, please feel free to ask!

Thanks!

Re: 2018 Porsche Cayman GTS

Nice looking car, but wow that 0-60 seems a bit slow for the car. I get almost the same performance from my old cls-550 with a stage 1 tune.

LGHT: It`s a respectable time...and they aren`t all about the 0-60 times...they do everything well! Your CLS sounds like a beast!

Yeah it`s an amazing car, but when you see a new Porsche with a big GTS on the side you think wow that must be amazing fast. My CLS is surprisingly fast for a 10 year old car.

Re: 2018 Porsche Cayman GTS

Love it. Great work.
The Caymans are such amazing cars for the price (relative to other Porsche`s hehe) and a real pleasure to drive. I don`t own one but I have a driven the "old" 987 on many occasions and man what a great handling car. May not be 0-60mph fast compared to others but its about the overall driving experience and Porsche just delivers on that so well.

Have you been out to the Porsche experience center in Atlanta? I`ve been to the new center in LA and it`s amazing what they are doing. I haven`t been on the track yet, but it`s on my bucket list for sure!! It`s amazing to see the 911`s whip around the corners and seem not to ever really slow down much.
